17 Description: Tool for booting operating systems on remote hardware
18 This program makes booting of an operating system (e.g. Linux or
19 NOVA) as simple as running a local program. It facilitates booting on
20 local or remote hosts or in emulators such as qemu. Novaboot
21 operation is controlled by command line options and by a so called
22 novaboot script, which can be thought as a generalization of
23 bootloader configuration files. Based on this input, novaboot setups
24 everything for the target host to boot the desired configuration,
25 i.e. it generates the bootloader configuration file in the proper
26 format, deploy the binaries and other needed files to required
27 locations, perhaps on a remote TFTP server and reset the target host.
28 Finally, target host's serial output is redirected to standard output

34 Description: Server-side scripts simplifying novaboot target configuration
35 This package allows controlling novaboot target hardware via simple,
36 unified, SSH-based interface. Most of the target configuration
37 happens on the server, novaboot clients only need to specify '--ssh
38 user@server' to use the target. The server is easily usable also
39 without novaboot - e.g. reseting the target is as simple as running
40 'ssh user@server reset'. The server contains logic that blocks other
41 user's requests, while somebody else is connected to target's
42 console. Blocked users see who is using the target and are
43 automatically unblocked when the target becomes free.
